11th Annual JCCNS International Jewish Film Festival, Generously sponsored by Sharon and Howard Rich & Leslie and Bob Ogan

 

This heartwarming, culture-clash odyssey unfolds an improbable friendship between a stranded Brooklyn Jew and an Arab nomad in the vast desert, bringing humor and camaraderie. Ultra-Orthodox Ben sets out to rescue Alexandria, Egypt’s dwindling Jewish community, but finds himself marooned in the Sinai Desert. His last glimmer of hope rests with Adel, a gruff Bedouin in search of his lost camel. At first, they clash over cultural misunderstandings, until their broken-down SUV unites them in a fight for survival. Starring charismatic leads Luzer Twersky and Hitham Omari, this tender, whimsical road trip, set in breathtaking desertscapes, offers a parable of religious tolerance.
